35mm Slides

Information About the different slides in your Slide Collection

35mm slides are the small,
positive pieces of film, normally about 1.375"
by .875", held by rectangles of cardboard or
plastic so that they end up as 2 inch squares.
They can be viewed with small hand viewers but
are usually projected onto a screen. The size of
what you see displayed on the screen is based on
the distance from the projector. The further
away from the screen, the larger the Slides
will display. In order to end up with 35mm slides you have to use 35mm slide film in your camera instead
of print film and then have them processed into
slides. This is special color reversal film.

Color-reversal films produce
transparent positive imaged film that looks like
the original scenes you photographed. These are
cut into individual frames and mounted and you
have color slides for projection.

The image advertisements many
movie theaters show before the movies are
usually projected 35mm slides.

If your 127
slides have the film portions warped as in the
slide below, forget it.
Your slide is damaged more than we can handle.
You might want to trim them down and remount in
a regular 35mm or 126 slide holder.
